pyrad.proc.process_spectra_point

pyrad.proc.process_spectra_point(procstatus, dscfg, radar_list=None)

Obtains the spectra or IQ data at a point location.

Parameters:

• procstatus (int) – Processing status: 0 initializing, 1 processing volume, 2 post-processing

• dscfg (dictionary of dictionaries) –

  data set configuration. Accepted Configuration Keywords:

  datatype : string. Dataset keyword
      The data type where we want to extract the point measurement
  single_point : boolean. Dataset keyword
      if True only one gate per radar volume is going to be kept.
      Otherwise all gates within the azimuth and elevation tolerance
      are going to be kept. This is useful to extract all data from
      fixed pointing scans. Default True
  latlon : boolean. Dataset keyword
      if True position is obtained from latitude, longitude information,
      otherwise position is obtained from antenna coordinates
      (range, azimuth, elevation). Default False
  truealt : boolean. Dataset keyword
      if True the user input altitude is used to determine the point of
      interest.
      if False use the altitude at a given radar elevation ele over the
      point of interest. Default True
  lon : float. Dataset keyword
      the longitude [deg]. Use when latlon is True.
  lat : float. Dataset keyword
      the latitude [deg]. Use when latlon is True.
  alt : float. Dataset keyword
      altitude [m MSL]. Use when latlon is True. Default 0.
  ele : float. Dataset keyword
      radar elevation [deg]. Use when latlon is False or when latlon is
      True and truealt is False
  azi : float. Dataset keyword
      radar azimuth [deg]. Use when latlon is False
  rng : float. Dataset keyword
      range from radar [m]. Use when latlon is False
  AziTol : float. Dataset keyword
      azimuthal tolerance to determine which radar azimuth to use [deg].
      Default 0.5
  EleTol : float. Dataset keyword
      elevation tolerance to determine which radar elevation to use
      [deg]. Default 0.5
  RngTol : float. Dataset keyword
      range tolerance to determine which radar bin to use [m]. Default
      50.
  

• radar_list (list of Radar objects) – Optional. list of radar objects

Returns:

• new_dataset (dict) – dictionary containing the data and metadata at the point of interest

• ind_rad (int) – radar index
